Chapter 1885: Chapter 1883: Was Killing Audem Really the Right Choice?

Wedding photos!

New clothes!

Gold and silver jewelry!

Everything needed for the wedding was basically all taken care of. That was the result of Ye Tianchen accompanying Liu Rumei to mess around for a whole day. These were all things that had to be prepared before a wedding, and they were what every woman wanted to get. Precisely because of that, Ye Tianchen endured and let Liu Rumei toss him around for so long, just to fulfill her wish!

Only, Ye Tianchen had a feeling that getting married was really too exhausting. No wonder so many people say marriage is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime event. This one big event in life is honestly quite tiring.

"Tomorrow is your wedding day already. I need to rest early too. With so many big shots coming, and with a handsome bear as cute as me, I still have to spend time dealing with them. How can I do that without good energy?" Little Black Bear glanced at Ye Tianchen, who was sprawled on the sofa, and said.

"Tomorrow is the wedding day already? That fast?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help feeling a bit depressed. Weren’t they saying there was still about a week?

"How many days do you think have passed? You’ve forgotten the date, right? Tomorrow is Sunday!" Little Black Bear said crossly.

"Huh? Tomorrow is Sunday already? This... no wonder Liu Rumei insisted on finishing the wedding photos, the new clothes, and the gold and silver jewelry today. So the wedding is tomorrow!" Only now did Ye Tianchen understand why Liu Rumei was in such a hurry to get these things done.

Tomorrow was the wedding day already. Ye Tianchen really hadn’t been paying attention and didn’t realize this week had gone by so quickly. Thinking about it, Liu Rumei really hadn’t had it easy. During this time she’d been busy with company matters non‑stop. She finally managed to secure M Company’s biggest project and only then got a tiny bit of free time to buy the things she needed for her own wedding. For a woman, that really isn’t easy; it’s truly hard work!

"Right, if you’ve got time, watch some TV. Change a few channels. They’ve been looping the same news all day long!" Little Black Bear yawned and walked into his own room.

Ye Tianchen glanced at that guy Little Black Bear and didn’t say anything more. He sat up, picked up the remote, and pressed a button. The channel that had been playing cartoons instantly jumped to an international news channel, and they were broadcasting some big news, with seven or eight anchors on screen. It really looked like something that had rocked the entire world!

"Hello everyone, we now continue our live coverage of the death of the king of the Mercenary World, Audem..."

So, although Ye Tianchen had buried that underground factory, Audem was an international thief, a mercenary famous all over the world. The news that he had come to China had already spread among high‑level officials both domestically and abroad, prompting governments of various countries to send out large numbers of personnel to track and investigate him, constantly following Audem’s trail. Although no one discovered that it was Ye Tianchen who killed Audem, after Audem’s death someone still found the location of the underground factory. When they dug it open, they were all shocked out of their wits, in complete disbelief!

Immediately, the entire Mortal World was in an uproar. No one had expected that Audem, who had risen the fastest in recent years and had given governments across the globe massive headaches, leaving them at their wits’ end, would actually die in China.

You had to know, in recent years, Audem’s rise had been watched very closely by governments around the Mortal World, because this guy was basically the first terrorist in history who could truly stand against government power. He was indeed very powerful. No one knew how many assassins these government forces had sent, and yet they were all unable to take him out. That alone showed how extraordinary this guy was. In the last few years, Audem’s power had grown even more. When he wanted to launch a terrorist attack, he did it. Wherever he wanted to launch an attack, he did it there. Even if a country’s defenses were extremely tight, they still couldn’t stop Audem, let alone capture him!

Precisely because of that, Audem became a terrorist known worldwide. Even national governments could do nothing about him—who else would dare provoke him lightly? Even the M Nation’s government was crying about it, saying that if they couldn’t stop Audem, other countries could just wait to be toyed with by him!

But then—! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Audem died. He died within China’s borders. When the personnel sent by various countries discovered the underground factory, the Chinese government immediately sent people to seal off the area, only allowing envoys from some other countries to join in digging out the underground factory together.

The underground factory was quickly cleared out. One corpse after another was brought up, and after their identities were confirmed, all of them were verified as members of Audem’s Mercenary Group. When Audem’s body was finally dug up, everyone was dumbfounded, mouths hanging open. No one had expected that not only would all the members of Audem’s Mercenary Group die here, but even Audem himself would die here. It was far too shocking!

You could imagine it: over the years, Audem had already become an international celebrity of sorts. All the governments could do nothing about him, and his arrogance had reached the extreme. Because of that, people had come to feel that almost no one could deal with Audem—this guy basically wasn’t human!

Yet no one had expected that Audem was dead, and dead in the Capital City of China. The hundred‑plus elite mercenaries he brought with him had all died along with him. Such a scene shocked everyone. The moment Audem’s body was found, the heads of state of every country were utterly stunned. None of them had thought Audem would just die like that, and on Chinese soil at that!

When leaders of other countries called the Chinese high‑level leadership, wanting to know whether it was China’s forces that did this, the Chinese high‑level leaders all denied it. And it was precisely this denial that left other countries even more shocked and even more aware of how unfathomable China was. They all speculated that China must be hiding some extremely powerful force and simply didn’t want others to know, so they refused to admit it. With that, all the other countries felt even more wary of China. For a time, many originally tense international relationships slowly began to ease, as everyone speculated about and feared China’s strength!

Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected that by killing Audem and rescuing Little Black Bear, he hadn’t just removed a scourge for the entire Mortal World, but had also, invisibly, allowed China—this country that used to be humiliated repeatedly—to display some of its strength, making other countries feel even more afraid!

However, the follow‑up report was something Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected: someone had actually managed to trace things back to him. Someone found that, before he died, Audem had appeared at M Company’s press conference. After all, M Company was an international conglomerate capable of influencing the economy of the whole Mortal World. Its press conference was watched worldwide. And before Audem died, he had only appeared at M Company’s press conference, where he’d clashed with Ye Tianchen. That drew even more attention from the entire Mortal World!

Ten years ago, Ye Tianchen had also made a name for himself worldwide and was hailed internationally as the "Eastern Demon." That was something all high‑level circles around the world knew. Now Ye Tianchen had returned. The first time he appeared in the public eye, he went head‑to‑head with Audem, the fastest‑rising figure of recent years. The two of them had practically been on the verge of throwing down right there at M Company’s press conference.

After that, Audem died. It was hard not to think that Ye Tianchen had done it. Many people analyzed that the only person who could realistically pull this off was likely this man once known as the "Eastern Demon," Ye Tianchen. Otherwise, who else could kill Audem? Government forces? If they’d been able to, Audem would’ve been dead long ago!

Ye Tianchen turned off the TV and got ready for bed. None of this had anything to do with him, nor was it something he cared about. To him, this was nothing more than a piece of cake!

Just then, as Ye Tianchen was about to turn and go back to his room to sleep, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. The corner of his mouth lifted in a slight smile as he said, "Looks like tonight we’re not going home until we’re drunk. An old friend has come calling!"

After he said that, Ye Tianchen vanished from the room. At that moment, outside the Ye family’s big estate, a military sedan was parked—a high‑grade vehicle at a glance. Two people sat inside. One of them, dressed in camo fatigues, asked, "Captain, should we go in now?"

"No rush. Let me think. After all these years, that guy actually came back!" The man sitting in the back of the military car wore a camo cap pulled low, covering his whole face, as he spoke.

"Captain, do you think he really killed Audem? It doesn’t feel very real..." the soldier couldn’t help asking in doubt.

"If we’re talking about strength, he definitely has the power to kill Audem. Back then he was supposed to be the captain of the Heavenly Gang Level War General unit. It’s just a pity that brat didn’t give a damn!" The man in the back seat paused for a moment and said.

"This... Captain, is that guy really that strong? Stronger than us Heavenly Gang Level War Generals?" Obviously, the soldier driving wasn’t quite convinced.

"He was once known as the Eastern Demon. He stormed the White House alone and made Hei Bama treat him to dinner. His strength even made the old‑generation Heavenly Gang War Generals completely convinced!"

"We just met and I’m already hearing you praise me like this. How embarrassing. Did you bring good liquor?" Ye Tianchen’s voice suddenly sounded inside the military sedan. (To be continued.
